Fucking rattle

That nut can be taken out if you get it with a magnet from the outside.

You have to place the magnet over the hole (outside hole with the wing off) and open and close the hatch slowly.

IMO, it will be hard to isolate / fix a rattle with nuts rolling around in the hatch.

Genius solutions as always.

Ahh hell with it, the car's got 16,XXX on it, under warranty, I'm just gonna march in there and say, "the damn spoiler's falling off, fix it," and that'll be all.

Pretty much what I plan to do if mine gets any worse or it finally starts annoying me to the point of wanting to rip it off.

I tried fixing all these rattles with felt tape/foam etc to no avail.

I was thinking about this the other day and I wonder if you checked the distance of your PMM and the inner wall since you installed it. I was double checking the bolt torque on my RMM and PMM a week after I installed them and I noticed the PMM was practically touching the inner wall on the right hand side. You are supposed to have at least a 3/16" of gap there. I think doing this, in addition to the TMM significantly lowered the felt vibrations, but not the noise.

I tried that, it didn't work. I had to take the inner panel off in order to gain access to the center of the hatch. I ended up using 2 cheap telescopic magnet dealies and bending them to breaking. Then I raised and lowered the hatch until one of them caught the offending nut. This was almost an hour process because there was barely any room to work.

is there a permanent fix to this?

I haven't tried to figure it out yet, but if I had to guess, either using rubber tape, or 3m tape to stick the two pieces together.

Good idea.

I have some left over 3m outdoor industrial velcro i used for my HID ballasts. I'll try this tomorrow or sunday and report back.

Mine does have a gap there.. I read the instructions carefully the first time. It's torqued properly, so the mount hasn't moved at all.
You just learn to deal with the noises. Crank up your stereo louder!

This trick works. I used 3m industrial outdoor velcro. When 2 pieces are velcro'd together it creates like a 5mm think double sided tape. Used that to wedge it between the head liner and the roof. It applies a little downward pressure on the front of the headliner and gets rid of the rattle.

Good to know, when I stop being lazy I'll get some of that velcro and do the same thing.

Now to get rid of the rattle coming from my gauge cluster.

the gauge cluster comes out easily and comes apart with very little difficulty. some velcro tape and some thin foam pipe insulation tape worked perfectly to silence that pandora's box of rattles.

Good to know. I just need to stop being lazy and do this.

I'm gonna have to check and see if that's what's making the clunk on my car...only when I hit bumps going around corners and shit. I figured it was my 3" UR CBE clunking off of something in the rear end. Seems it's about when I put it on that the clunk started happening.

Is there a how to thread for this?

it is, oddly enough, in the how-to section...

[makjur]

the squeaking when you get in and out of the car, might be e-brake giving slightly from movement of the car

[boostdmazda3]

turn on radio.

[Twofer]

Since I got the JBR 80d Trilogy, I can't hear anything except the transmission, the synchros, the throwout bearing, the intermediate shaft, the individual cylinders firing...



Shit is awesome.

[thatsmrgimp2u]

Yeah I'm pretty sure my mounts cause me to hear colors..... Especially in the winter.

Shit rattles. Just deal with it. I have too many rattles I don't even know where to start lol

[Voltron]

I get stereo surround rattles.

Glovebox. Both front windows. Something up by the dash. Rear left area. Exhaust. Basically everything.

You can't stop it by pushing on the mechanism. So I went in, and said "So what, am I shit out of luck then?" and the guy at the counter said something along the lines of "nope, we're gonna order you a new locking mechanism, under warranty." ....I was REALLY happy considering the noise made me almost sell the car.

I have been trying to figure out where my rattle is coming from in the hatch area and that just might be it. Guess I should take it to the dealer then.

[Limeybastard]

I think I got a rattle on my13. Sounds like stones or marbles ( small ones ) under the floor board jiggling around at speeds above 50. Or it might be coming from the gauge area.

[klafaille]

Passenger seat back rattles in mine. Drove me nuts until I figured it out.

[galens47]

Mount trio rattles much more pronounced. Oh well fuck. I like not having wheel hop.

i had a mega annoying rattle from the passenger seat. i unbolted it, tilted it back and checked for tightness. everything was ok.. hmmm, odd.

a week later i found a chopstick inside the seatback cover that i had randomly unzipped. it had been rattling against the seat frame. uh... i guess my car was made in japan...

[de_wiz]

Speaking of rattles, I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with their driver side window, constantly rattling when it is in any other position but up?

I took my car to my local Mazda dealership 4 times for this problem now, and they messed around with the control arm, and some other things, but never ended up fixing the window. They told me that this is normal operation for the window, and that I just have to deal with it. The service manager informed me to just spray silicone spray on all moving parts until the problem corrects itself, but they themselves would not do this. Any suggestions?

[Kawiralph]

Other than that my genpu shows the same behaviour and the stealer has no solution, no...

I had rattles coming from the dome lighting area. Got it fixed under warranty.

[zedekias]

Can someone clarify how they fixed their latch/locking mechanism rattle?

Mine is insanely loud. I've tried moving the latch back and forward.

What did you do with the silicone adhesive or open cell foam??

I refuse going to dealer. I don't have time for that.

[mxlplx71]

check your rear wing bolts

*edit OLD ass post

[zedekias]

For the record I've done the spoiler fix. Added butyl rope and tightened all bolts.

I had my gf sit in the hatch yesterday while I drove and it's definitely coming from the latch area.

[Yousuf]

My sunglasses holder rattles sometimes and it stops completely when I just support it with my hand, also I've been hearing something slight from the seatbelt near where you adjust them from, mainly the drivers side. I just ignore it

[2011speed]

I have a 2013 with 1500 miles and it rattles like a 89 Honda. Annoying as fuck and makes the car feel cheap.

Anybody else repeatedly bash the spot u think is rattling and hope it goes away?

[Yousuf]

If anything don't you think repeatedly bashing the trouble spots would make the problem worse

[oOfactoryOo]

So far no rattles on my 13. Right around 12000 km. JBR 88RMM going on today though, things might get loud lol

I don't know if bashing the "trouble" area is gonna fix it...check your sunglasses holder and latch area. Also make sure your glove box is completely shut...I had some papers stuck in it which caused it not to latch properly and it rattled bad.

I have a distinct noise coming from the driver side corner vent by the windshield. Bashing it made it slightly quieter but still incredibly annoying. And then I believe my passenger seat makes some sort of noise.
